One of my gift mini packages arrived today. This gem plus a stack of plastics of various LOTRiness.

Sadly, some of the fellowship have journeyed elsewhere, but who am I to look a gift horse in the mouth (of Sauron). A big thanks to Eyecandy animation in Canberra for the donation!

So I have a confession.

Sorry... But I hate Lord of The Rings. The books, the films and especially The Hobbit in all its dreadful forms. Now, I appreciate the significance and importance of the series... I just don't like it. None of it. About the only thing I dig is the concept of Ringwraiths riding Fell Beasts. A ghost on a giant fucking carrion thing swinging a mace? That's freaking great!

I.. Uh.. Oh, fuck it... since I am confessing geek shame, I also really hate watching anime. I can stomach the GITS movie and Akira, and the studio Ghibli stuff is charming, but everything else I have seen just shits me. Especially the TV series stuff like fucking Attack on Titan and bloody Neon Genesis Evan... Fuck it, why bother finishing the title, the ending was shit.

What else? Oh yeah... Torchwood. Uhg.

And Capaldi.

I have a lot of dislike for geek stuff. Should I hand in my geek cred card?
